Yes, I'll admit - I have a slight prejudice against Internet Explorer!

WHERE TO FIND YOUR OWN CRAPPY LAPTOP:

LINKS FOR WIN3X SOFTWARE:

Here are some links to download sites I gleaned off the internet.  These all have many of the necessary links to software programs you will need to get on the internet, like Netscape 2 or 3, Internet Explorer 3, Eudora Lite, WS-FTP, and so on.


Links related to Win3x software:

More links of interest!

  • http://extlab1.entnem.ufl.edu/IH8PCs/index.html  The "I Hate Computers" page.   This is a hilarious web site, and it is easy for a 386 to view.  By this I mean, no java, doesn't take too long to load.  (Opera didn't crash once while viewing it!)  I spent several hours touring around several years of archived newsletters the creator of this page had written.  He is clever, and interesting.  Give his page a look!
  • http://www.oldsoftware.com/ibm.html   Old software for sale.
  • http://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org   Obsolete Computer Page.  Some very interesting information and pictures of old computers!
  • http://gwhs.8m.com/   The "genuine" Windows 3.1 page.   An excellent page for Win3.x users.   You owe it to yourself to check it out.
  • http://www.galactic.co.uk/iainf/computers.html   Care and feeding of the Elderly computer.   Good site, with it's own good links.
  • http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Network/7070/index2.html   "Internet Explorer Sucks" Page.   I'll admit, I love to dislike IE (but I suspect not as much as some people!)   I found this site an amusing "hate page" dedicated to the dreaded Internet Explorer.
  • I made a crappy little web page with my crappy little laptop.  Just goes to show you what you can still do with one of these dinosaurs! The URL is: http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Quarters/8955/project/index.html.  Be warned, this page takes longer to load, and it has (horrors!) java on it!   (Just for a little counter...)
  • Some easy, free web authoring software to get for an old crappy Win3x system is Dida! Dida.  It's what I used to make my web page with the crappy laptop.

Linux and Lynx Links:

Try saying that five times fast!
The Operating System Linux is growing in popularity these days.   Since it is well-known to run on older, crappy computers (486s and 386s) I've added some links to pages geared towards introducing the newbie to Linux.   Also, the text-based browser Lynx is excellent for older computers, so I've included a few links for it as well.
  • http://www.winlinux.net   This new version of Linux will work on Win9x, and will need a Pentium-class processor. So - nothing too crappy for it!   But it sounds so tempting, and fascinating, I am including the link.   It is supposed to be a "Windows friendly" version of Linux - a new breed of Linux.
  • Yahoo Lynx Listing (URL too long for page!)   Some links Yahoo has compiled on Lynx.
  • http://jgo.local.net/LinuxGuide/   For Linux Newbies.

A cautionary note:   Make sure to run a virus program on any of the software you download.   Sure, I know that the software is virus-free, but you don't!

(A few buttons from my "collection".   I have a weakness for Anti-AOL and Anti-IE buttons, I must admit...)
